Boom Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Midway, Tora Tora Tora and that awful movie Pearl Harbour are well known. But what about Pacific air combat movies not involving the Navy (Aircraft carriers)? I can only think of three. Anyone think of any more? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelsup_cavu Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Those are Mediterranean and European theater war movies with a WW1 movie thrown in too @Enceladus. 18 hours ago, Boom said: But what about Pacific air combat movies not involving the Navy (Aircraft carriers)? By limiting it to the Pacific Theater of Operations without a carrier component the fare does get mighty slim.

Boom Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 This movie is very low level. But it's saved by the B-29, which is the real star. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels To be completely accurate, A Guy Named Joe starts out in the ETO with Spencer Tracy flying a B-25. He dies bombing, (ironically considering the thread topic) a German carrier. There are a couple of great sequences featuring early P-38s and B-26s filling in as Japanese Bettys. One of my favorite Van Johnson films.
